From The Backgammon Book, by Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford

White to play 6-5.

As a matter of fact, in this position you wouldn’t even run with both your men with 6-5. You want to hold that point and play for a shot at one of black’s men. You aren’t risking a gammon if you stay but have practically no chance to win if you run.
